### Log Source for CDC Events

QRadar will try to create a Log Source automatically once it begins receiving CDC events, but you may need to create one manually. To do so, perform the following.

1. In QRadar, navigate to **Admin → Log Sources**.
2. Click **+ New Log Source**.
3. Select **Single Log Source**.
4. Search for the **Infoblox CDC** log source type.
5. Search for the **Syslog** protocol.
6. Configure Log Source Parameters:
  1. Set the Name to **Infoblox-CDC**.  
*NOTE: If you change this name, you will also need to change ****Logsource**** parameter in the Pulse dashboards to match.*
  2. Set the Extension to **InfobloxCDCCustom_ext**.
  3. Set Store Event Payloads to **True**.
  4. Set Coalescing Events to **Disabled**.
  5. Set other settings as desired.

7. Set a relevant Log Source Identifier.
8. Set the Incoming Payload Encoding to **UTF-8**.
9. Click **Finish**.
